Airline 62-158 (1935) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Montgomery Ward started advertising radios in their catalog in 1921, selling radios from other companies. They started using the Airline name in 1923, selling one- to three-tube radios made by a company called TRESCO. They had "Airline" with a lightning bolt through it and Montgomery Ward "adopted" Airline as it own brand name, and changed the look of the logo. The 62-158 is a seven-tube, two-band (SB,SW) radio that was manufactured by Wells-Gardner. The chassis was used in this model and a console version. It has plenty of volume, with great sensitivity across the unique dial. Wards was starting to use Art Deco design in their radios, and this one in particular hits a home run with its "skyscraper" design that defined the period. We went through the electronics replacing all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. We installed a new power cord, safety fuse, and an audio cable. Gary stripped and refinished the radio to a "factory fresh" look with a wonderful lacquer finish. The radio retains its original chassis, speaker and knobs. This is the second 62-158 for sale at the Radio Attic. A great addition to any collection! 17"H x 16"W x 11"D.Was $599.00, now $499.00.

Airline 62-329 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) I've mentioned this before: Montgomery Wards sold millions of products without manufacturing anything! Radios were no exception.

Airline 62-367 "Teledial" (1937) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) In the 1930's, radios were the cutting edge of new electronic innovation for consumers of that generation. Competition was fierce, so manufacturers were constantly improving the radios and adding features. The Teledial was a quick way to dial in your favorite stations without having to manually turn a dial and search. Most of them were set up much like a rotary dial on telephones, and made the tuning process much easier and faster. All the radio manufacturers at one time or another featured Teledials, soon replaced by electric selection and motorized dials. The 62-367 is a seven-tube, two-band (SB+SW) radio.

This is a five-tube, AM-only radio manufactured for Airline by Belmont. We went through this radio with our usual replacing of all capacitors with modern equivalents.

(0260856)
Airline 74BR-1502B (1947) (Bakelite tube table radio) Here is a very small five-tube radio that is AM only. I call it a "Mini Toaster" as late 40's radios all seem to look like toasters to me! It has an ivory painted Bakelite case with no chips, cracks or hairlines. The matching ivory bullet knobs are not original but streamline the case a bit in front. It has the original metal back that also acts like an antenna, but it picks up a lot more with a long wire antenna attached.

Air Castle 6110 (1939) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This is a stunning radio! The previous owner did a terrific refinish to the cabinet. It was difficult to photo this radio with the depth of the finish and reflection from the dramatic luster. Air Castle was the house brand of Macy's and Spiegel catalogue. They contracted their production to some of the finest manufacturers of the era.

This radio was destined for and office or study, with a sophisticated carved front, and top highlighted with a dental edge. The radio is an earlier type of set, what was called a "TRF" circuit analog with a low four-tube count. This radio being so early requires a decent length of antenna wire, which is installed and will receive only the strong local stations.

American Bosch 565 (1935) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) Founded in 1886 in Germany, Robert Bosch built a plant in 1911 in Springfield, MA. By 1920 they had 3,000 workers manufacturing 50% of all the electrical parts for the automobile industry. During the war, Bosch magnetos were used in basically every ship and plane. Bosch products were made to a very high standard technically and aesthetically, and their radios were no exception. The 565 is a six-tube, three-band (AM,SW,police) AC/DC model. I could find no information on it. Every model 565 radio and schematic I looked at was an AC set. We think that this was a factory made set, possibly looking at putting an AC/DC version in production. I would be surprised to find another one...so we think this may have been a factory one-off. A very unique radio that was probably never put into production. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, antenna lead and safety fuse were installed. This radio had very good sensitivity and volume, picking up stations all across the multi-colored dial. Gary stripped this gorgeous cabinet and refinished it to a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, speaker and chassis are with the set. A new crystal-clear dial cover was added.

Anritsu "Alpha A-100" (1946) (Wood tube table radio) Rare! This is a very hard to come by post war Japanese tube set. It was manufactured by the Anritsu Electric Co. LTD. in Tokyo Japan in 1946.

This is a four-tube TRF set and has been rebuilt per my shop specs. The radio is in very good condition. The original finish has mostly been retained. The wooden cabinet is a simple design. The veneers are intact but some slight checking is found. The chassis and speaker are in excellent condition. I have had this radio in my collection for many years, buying it directly from a collector in Japan.

Receives four local stations well and has a long wire antenna for added reception. The radio has a backlit dial and presents well. This radio works best at 100v but will also work on normal 120v.

Aria 175 (1938) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Aria was one of a hundred brands built by Detrola, and was sold in Wieboldt Department Stores of Chicago. Detrola also supplied Western Auto (Truetone) and Sears (Silvertone), just to name two, with thousands of radios. They were the most productive company in the USA, providing radios for department stores and small retailers. The chassis used in the Aria was used in other radios (Detrola 175E) and consoles under different sellers. The 175 is a eight-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) radio. It produces a ton of volume with push-pull audio through a rebuilt Rola eight-inch speaker. The radio features motorized tuning which functions perfectly.

All this will be carefully packed. I pack radios for you the way I want them packed for me. $695.00. (1860003)

Arvin 444 Chrome Midget (1946) (Metal tube table radio) Vintage 1946-1948 Rare Chrome Arvin Midget Model 444A tube radio, compact metal body. I have mostly Catalin radios in my collection, but this one really caught my eye when I saw it about 30 years ago here in Los Angeles. I don't know a lot about these radios, and I haven't seen a lot of the chrome versions. I've seen a few different colors of this model. It looks great on the shelf amongst the other radios and will surely look just as good at your place. I haven't tried plugging it in because the AC cord is frayed. Because we're not able to turn it on, this is being sold as is as a "non-working" vintage radio. $525.00. (1880006)

Arvin 540T (1951) (Metal tube table radio) A little metal Arvin four-tube set. It is AM only and has a light beige painted case. There are a few paint spots on it and nicks but no bad scratches or chips. It has the original knobs and back. The cord was replaced with a new polarized one for safety (which is needed on these metal sets!). It needs a long wire antenna to work but is sensitive to just about any length added. It picks up local stations and depending on the antenna, can reach out further. I went through the chassis and replaced weak tubes, filters, and caps. It has been aligned as well. It has a nice sound through its 4-inch speaker. This little set would look nice on your desk at home or office. 8-1/4"W x 5-1/2"H x 4-1/4"D. $100.00. (1700075)
Arvin 618 "Phantom Maid" (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) AM and Shortwave reception. Six tubes. Untested and sold as-is. This is a popular radio with collectors when you can find one. The radio is untested as the power cord is not safe where it meets the chassis. The cabinet is in pretty good shape and solid. The chassis is clean and complete. The dial turns as designed. I am not sure of the status of the green eye tube as the radio has not been tested. I've priced this radio for a quick sale and to leave the buyer a lot of room to make the necessary improvements for it to work. 19-1/2"W x 15-3/4"H x 9-3/4"D. Please review all photos as they provide the best description of the radio's condition. I accept mailed checks, Venmo or Zelle. No more PayPal for me. Shipping depends on your location.

Arvin 950T (1955) (Bakelite tube table radio) Sharp angular Eames era cabinet is without cracks/chips!

The unpainted tan control knobs are excellent. The gold patterned foil center of the tuning dial is perfect! The station numerals & distinctive Arvin logo are crisp & complete! They sit nicely on a checkerboard cutout grille. The five tube AM only chassis plays well. Comes with the original Masonite back in great condition. 10"W x 6"H x 5"D. Very cool!! $275.00. (0250149)

Atwater Kent 856 (1935) (Wood tube tombstone radio) As beautiful as it is rare, this Atwater Kent 856 from 1935 is a real eye catcher. AK also gave it some cool features, like a dial that lights the selected band, and a two-speed tuner that you can switch from high to low without removing your hand from the knob. The front is ornate and fitted with gorgeous booked veneer. The chassis is a very good performer with amazing sound from the perfect 8-inch speaker. This came to me with two coats of lead based white paint on it. After 12 hours of scrubbing I got 99.9% of it off, but damaged the front veneer in one spot (see photos). It really isn't terrible, and you don't notice it if you are not looking for it. The gloss finish is the slickest I have ever done. 18 coats were needed to cover up the grain after cleaning the white paint. While it retains a few specks and dings, it is crazy nice. A lot of people would call it piano finish. I replaced all the caps, most of the resistors and most of the rubber wiring. A full set of tubes that all test new for long service life. This thing was ruined when I got it, but now it is pretty much a show stopper. $749.00. (1680104)

I have only had it on display and it is sold untested. A real show piece for any radio collection. $1,995.00. (0260871)

Bang & Olufsen Jet 509K (1952) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) B&O was founded in 1925 by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen. In 1927, they moved into a factory and developed a radio, which debuted in 1929, the "Five Lamper" and its peripheral "Type D" loudspeaker. Powered from the receiver, the Five Lamper only required connection to an electrical outlet to play. This radio was also the first unit to be encased in a walnut cabinet. In January, 1945, the Germans bombed B&O's factory, since both B&O refused to collaborate and its employees were suspected Danish Resistance members. In the 1950s, B&O, assisted by Denmark's renowned architects and designers, developed components that earned praise for aesthetic appeal. They were rewarded in 1978 when NY's Museum of Modern Art arranged a 39-piece exhibition of B&O's products, an honor only bestowed on three other companies during the 20th century. Our model has five tubes, AM, LW, + two SW Bands, but no FM. Richard repaired one 1N4007 rectifier, one AC power plug, re-wired 220VAC to 120VAC, and aligned IF and RF. The cabinet was repaired. $675.00. (1300085)

Braun PC3SV Turntable (1959-1961) (Plastic phonograph) Braun was founded by Max Braun in 1921 and started making radios and turntables in 1929. By the mid-1950s, the Braun brand was influenced by the German concept of modern industrial design and its combination of functionality and technology. One of its design leaders was Dieter Rams, who was a key figure in the German design renaissance of the late 1950s and 1960s. Dieter, along with Hans Gugelot, designed the famous SK4 record player, aka "Snow White's Coffin." Dieter also designed our shown PC3SV turntable as well as the "D" series (D25-D47) of high-quality 35 mm slide projectors. He and Dietrich Lubs are also credited with the design of a classic range of Braun alarm clocks which began with the AB 20 in 1987. Braun continued producing alarm clocks, of this type, through 2005. Dieter Ram retired in 1995. This turntable is constructed from modern plastic and functions properly. Richard Majestic replaced one P-186 cartridge and one audio cable.

Brunswick 12 (1932) (Wood tube tombstone radio) I have the opportunity once in a decade to purchase one of these, and seldom in such fine condition. The radio is in a unique form with detailed embellishments of scroll columns and rosettes of repwood. The classic design of the grille is also made of Repwood and a unique feature. A Brunswick was known to the phonograph world. Note the concentric controls with offer features never duplicated by competing manufacturers. The outer control is for the tuning; with the smaller control is the on/off switch with an additional feature. The control telescopes offering a fine tone control with a change in color of the lit dial as the changes made to the tone. I have never seen another elaborate manner of control as this. The radio is a very early super-het, one of the firsts and has a distant/local switch on the side. The radio is a seven tube model. The condition of the cabinet is extremely fine considering the age and fragility of the construction. It is all original along with the speaker cloth and knobs. My tech has completed his repairs and I was impressed with the performance of such an early set. Every flourish has been added with a fine cloth covered power cord and reproduction plug. Added to the circuits include a mini-jack allowing your connection of any modern type of input device. Use your phone, pad or computer to listen to the content of your choice. 20-3/4"H x 17-1/2"W x 11-1/4"D. $995.00. (0961857)

He has added our mini-jack for your connection to any modern type of device.

Clinton 127 (1936) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is a really unusually shaped and scarce model. Produced in Chicago, IL, in the "Skunk Works" plant A. There are collectors who seek only these scarcest models and this one enjoys a unique form factor. The radio is a five-tube super-het chassis and quite robust in the reception. The cabinet is in extraordinary condition with a superb high gloss finish. This is using the latest of Sherwin Williams lacquers and it is dramatic in appearance. I sense the speaker cloth is a replacement but believe everything else is factory original. I noted there was a bit of shadowing to the dial in a dark room, which is common for a nearly 90-year-old plastic dial. My tech has restored the radio to a "like new" operating condition and the radio doesn't disappoint. Added to the circuit is a mini-jack to allow your connection to any kind of modern device. You can use the mini-jack to listen to anything from your choice device. This will allow you an unlimited choice of content which will allow you to use this with your iPhone, smart phone, iPods, or record player. Access your old vinyl, or log on to Pandora, Apple Music, or the playlist on your computer to provide the tunes and use the Bluetooth connection to bring the warm, bright, allow you an unlimited choice of content which will allow you to use this with your iPhone, smart phone analog sound of a tube amplifier to any music or recordings you choose. 12"W x 8"H x 7"D. $695.00. (0961847)
Clinton 152 (1936) (Wood tube table radio) First time on Radio Attic for this nifty little basic four-tube + ballast TRF set that receives both AM and the now defunct Police band, all housed in a compact cabinet. All electrolytic and paper caps have been replaced, tubes tested strong, controls were cleaned and lubricated. It plays as well, requiring the long wire antenna to be extended for maximum reception. Cabinet was refinished by previous owner not to my usual standards but still displays well. These "Plant A Chicago" budget sets had very thin veneer, and you only get one shot at refinishing before you start losing veneer. What is does have is a truly amazing, colorful dial that is sure to impress in a dimly lit room! This is one of those circuits where the antenna is connected directly to the volume control, so the louder you turn the volume, the stronger the stations come in. There is no AVC, so you have to adjust the volume as you tune. As such, my standard add-on 3.5mm cord could not be installed on this unit. 10"W x 7"H x 6"D. $179.00. (1790376)
Commodore 1450 (1965?) (Plastic transistor shirtpocket radio) Nice example of this 14-transistor AM radio from Commodore. This radio has not been restored, but plays with very low volume. Cabinet is in very nice condition. Includes carrying case, earphones and original box and manual. 6"W x 4"H x 2"D. $60.00. (0390485)

Coronado 43-8120A (1949) (Bakelite tube table radio) Cute dark brown Bakelite small oval tube radio. The radio plays. Has a repaired crack on the right side, but is very hard to see (see photo). The radio is all original. Coronado on the front is raised with gold lettering and matching gold dial numbers. Round concave lattice speaker grill. Has original pristine back and antennae with model label and UL stamp. The radio rests on Bakelite feet that run the width of the case. Made in 1949. 9"W x 5"H x 4"D. $95.00. (1720090)
Coronado 43-8190 "The Racetrack" (1947) (Bakelite tube table radio) Small bakelite Coronado tabletop. The racetrack, as it is known to collectors, is an often-sought-after set and a great addition to any collection. It is a five-tube (AA5) superhet design and picks up stations well. The chassis is rebuilt as per my shop info section. The cabinet is painted Bakelite and is without any damage or cracks. It is a repaint in ivory off-white. The handle, face plate and knobs are blue/white marbled Tennite. This radio was distributed by the Gambles-Skogmo company of Minneapolis, Minn. Smallish in size at 9"W x 8"H x 6-1/2"D. Weight is 4 lbs. 15 oz. prior to packaging. Nice dials and knobs with a backlit red indicator "power on" lamp. New reproduction back as well as new reproduction grille cloth. Great reception with the factory internal antenna. As with all my radios, I will always entertain serious offers. Please see my shop info for shipping and payment options. Thanks for looking. $350.00. (1870023)
Coronado 867 (1940) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The Coronado brand was sold by the Gamble department stores. This is a very rare beautiful example of this model. It is a medium sized tombstone and the contrasting veneer tones and maple inlays make it a real stunner. The radio was in excellent condition when I bought it, so I cleaned the chassis and controls. Replaced all wax paper and electrolytic capacitors and tested all other components and any out of tolerance were replaced. All tubes were tested and any weak or defective tubes were replaced. A NOS green eye tube was installed. The original finish was in good shape and was cleaned up and re-sprayed with Mohawk toners and clear lacquer. The grille cloth was rough and replaced with a beautiful period correct cloth. It has a large speaker, eight tubes and AM plus SW bands. It has a very clear and warm sound. The controls left to right are: Tone, Band Switch, Tuning, On/Off/Volume. About 16-1/4"W x 15-1/2"H x 9"D. $475.00. (1610008)
Coronet C2 (1946) (Bakelite tube table radio) This Bakelite AM radio has a truly unique dial placement (other C2 models had wooden cases). It is reminiscent of a console radio, only much smaller! Rather than being so huge that it needed to sit on the floor, this is a "right-sized" tabletop radio that plays well. 12"W x 7"H x 6"D. $450.00. (1300073)
Cow Radio (Plastic replica radio) Its a cow. A happy cow. A cow with a box. $14.00. (1540040)
Crosley 6H3 (1934) (Wood tube tombstone radio) Nicely refinished cabinet and fully restored chassis with all new capacitors and full signal alignment. Plays great! Stunning veneer patterns with marquetry. Rare model. $499.99. (0380544)
Crosley 10-306 (1950) (Plastic tube portable radio) Offered is a very rare Crosley model 10-306 in a stunning jade green. It has turned up in gray and burgundy which are also hard to find. This example is far from perfect. The crack on the right side starts at the edge and stops about 2" into the front near the top of the dial. The other crack on the left near the base is about an 1-1/2". Both cracks have been reinforced with clear epoxy. Despite the flaws the set still displays well and does not show signs of a lot of use retaining a nice gloss shine. The radio has been serviced and plays well. 9-1/2"W x 8"H x 5"D. $249.00. (0260888)
Crosley 21-AQ (1940) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) The 21-AQ is a stunning model from Crosley; certainly one of their most beautiful pre-war table radios. This is the second one that I have restored; this one I did in mahogany lacquer which really makes the wood inlays pop. The push buttons are fully functional, the polycarbonate dial cover is new, and all of the brass pieces have been cleaned and polished. Electronically, the radio sounds great on both the AM and Shortwave bands. Additionally, all of the electrolytic and film capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents and all out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. The radio has been tuned and lubricated and the power cord has been replaced with a modern polarized plug. New felt feet have been added to prevent any scratching of your fine furniture. In summary, this radio is one that you will be thrilled to have in your collection. $349.00. (1780030)
Crosley 53TF (1941) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) This is the seldom seen prewar version of the Crosley victory sets from 1946. The radio is in very good overall condition. As much of the original finish as possible was saved and the balance refinished with a clear coat overall. It retains the original grille cloth, knobs, dial cover and back. The radio has been serviced and plays well receiving AM and also short Wave. It's ready to display and enjoy. 14-1/2"W x 9-1/2"H x 7-1/2"D. $279.00. (0260885)
Crosley 63-TJ "Victory" (1946) SOLD! (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is a beautiful, seldom offered for sale and somewhat rare Crosley "Victory" model and an obvious tribute to victory in WWII. It must have been one of the first radios off Crosley's assembly line after they switched back to making civilian products. The large airplane dial-pointer, the use of Foreign and American instead of SW and BC to label the bands, and the proud statement that it is a Crosley "Victory Model" on its colorful large dial with red, white, blue stripes... kind of says it all. The beautiful dial is lit with two pilot lights which is simply gorgeous. This radio survives to honor those who fought and gave their lives to protect America even to this day. What a trophy and memorial to our freedom effort! Has had a complete restore inside and out with factory knobs, speaker, grille cloth, dial, clear dial cover, full back + factory sticker & stencil on bottom of cabinet. It has a built-in loop antenna with provisions for connecting an external antenna. It has a deep clear sound and picks up stations across the dial. It also picks up SW with longer antenna wire. Nice clean chassis. About 15"W x 10"H x 8"D. $575.00. (1640345)
Crosley 124 "Playboy" (1932) (Wood tube cathedral radio) The 124 Playboy was a fairly good seller for Crosley in the early 30s. It has a large, substantial look to it. They used the space for a very good sounding 8-inch speaker and a well designed chassis. If I had known then what I know now I would have scrapped this one. I had to replace the veneer over the arch, make the tube cover and chassis metal pan. I had to paint the chassis. My genius nephew-in-law 3-D printed the escutcheon for me. The top had a tiny bit of ripple which I didn't notice, so when I wet sanded the ten base coats of semigloss, I wound up with that showing through the otherwise nice, slick finish. It isn't as bad as the photo booth lighting made it look in the top photo. It has the early 30s antenna type volume control, so you have to crank it up to get weak stations. Requires an external antenna. It has some shortcomings and I'm pricing it accordingly, but it is still a pretty darn cool radio. 17"W x 17"H x 11"D. $249.00. (1680127)
Crosley 124 "Playtime" (1931) (Wood tube novelty radio) BC. This is the only known variant of the Playtime clock radio that has an original windup clock! One winding gives up to twelve days of operation of a gorgeous clock in a beautiful cabinet retaining all the correct toning and highlights with the restoration, original grille cloth and perfect original clock face surrounded by stunning burled walnut. The radio plays very nicely and has an auxiliary input installed. Grandfather clock radio sales are few and far between and this is the first Playtime offered on the Radio Attic. Fully restored and warranted. 66-1/2"H x 24"W x 10-1/2"D. $575.00. (0100179)
Crosley 154 (1933) (Wood tube cathedral radio) This adorable little Crosley 154 came to me in absolutely horrible condition, but it is the only example of this radio I am aware of, so I wanted to restore it. The front veneer was in very bad condition, but I spruced it up the best I could. A lot of flaws remain in the otherwise nice finish after 80 years of obviously hard living. The photo finish is gone from the lower left and right columns. The speaker is not original and has a couple of patches by a previous servicer. I had to paint the chassis. Crosley employed regeneration in the IF circuit to give it the gain of a five-tuber. It has the 1930s style antenna volume control, so you have to turn it up to pick up weak stations. The gold sparkle in the luxurious Brown Lurex grille cloth doesn't show up in the photos but is very elegant. While it has some shortcomings, this radio is extremely rare. None has ever sold on the attic, and the one on Radio Museum is this one. Despite its blemishes, this really is a little cutie, and if you're a Crosley guy, I'm betting you don't have one of these. Requires an external antenna. 12-1/2"H x 10"W x 8"D. $199.00. (1680106)
Crosley 167 (1934) (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) (BC+1SW) This stunning little machine age designed set has a nice patterned veneer cabinet with the correct toning and original grille cloth and knobs. The five-tube "Dual Fiver" superhet chassis plays well making for a nice addition to any collection. Fully restored and warrantied, 14"H x 12"W x 8"D. $225.00. (0100185)
Crosley 506 (1937) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio) This is a very nice seldom seen Crosley with a beautiful multi-color back lit dial... lights up great. This a favorite of my Crosley wooden sets & is hard to part with, but the time has come (Along with others nice sets on the Attic). Wonderful five-tube radio that plays pretty well & picks up all my locals & beyond, tho the performance is not as great as I would like. Extending the antenna improves it much (supplied). I have read that may be because this model only uses three tubes for amplification. It is a Fiver & really is a beauty. Speaker, grille cloth, knobs, etc. appear to be original + metal tag intact on chassis & paper factory tag inside cabinet. The cabinet also looks very nice & has been refinished nicely at some point (not by me). Moderate sized radio that doesn't require much shelf space & would look great in most/all collections. Made in USA. 10"W x 7-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D.Was $325.00, now $295.00. (1640333)
Crosley 517 "Fiver" (1937) ON SALE! (Wood tube tombstone radio w/SW) The compact 1937-38 517 "Fiver" tombstones are very popular probably due to their smaller size and the famous gold mirror dial. This is a very nice example; a "Fiver" mini-tombstone is an impressive radio for its small size picking up all my locals & beyond with only a short antenna wire. The Model 517 is a five-tube, two-band (SB,SW) radio and 5-inch speaker. It has been electronically restored a few years ago when it became part of my smoke free collection and works extremely well, covering the broadcast (550-1700 KC) and Shortwave (6-15 MC). Many Crosley models used the chassis or the name "Fiver." The original knobs, speaker and chassis are present, along with what appears to be original grille cloth as well as original finish. The dial is very colorful, is backlit and has a mirror behind it which makes it "pop." The wood is simply beautiful as pics should show. Chassis is very clean and the factory sticker is inside the cabinet. Original Utah speaker & cone is perfect. Crosley Radio Corp., Cincinnati, Ohio was started by Powell Crosley, Jr. and he eventually owned the Cincinnati Reds baseball team. 12-1/2"H x 10-1/2"W x 7 1/2"D; 10 lbs.Was $329.00, now $295.00. (1640340)
Crosley 517 "Fiver" (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) The Crosley "Fiver" name was used on several models. I found at least six models using the "Fiver" name, utilizing the same basic five-tube chassis. The model we have for sale today was referred to as the "Fiver Compact Louver Front" and was available in three color combinations. The cabinet is metal with a louvered Bakelite grille. I would think they made a lot of them, but this is the first one we've seen, so maybe not? The 517 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,SW) radio. A nice feature is the three-dimensional mirrored dial. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse, antenna lead and audio input cable were installed. Gary cleaned up and repainted the radio to its original factory two-toned colors of bronze and black. The set has the original knobs, Utah speaker and chassis. The radio has a "factory-fresh" look to it and would be a great addition to any collection! 13"W x 8"H x 7"D. $495.00. (1600570)
Crosley 817 (1938) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) The Crosley 817 "Super Eight" is aptly named with its lineup of eight tubes and an 8-inch speaker. The cabinet and dial are gorgeous, with brass accents and a striking brass mirrored dial, along with walnut veneer and inlaid strips of maple. This cabinet has been refinished and highly polished to a "piano" finish for the ultimate look. All external components are original except for replacement grille cloth. Performance is top-notch, with an RF amplification stage and push-pull output, which puts out console-quality sound into the big speaker. The chassis has had a full restoration and works like new, with a strong set of tubes, all paper and electrolytic capacitors replaced, new resistors where needed, a full alignment, a new vintage-style power cord, and a fuse added for improved safety. Use this radio as-is for off-the-air listening, or add my Better Bluetooth option to listen to your own program material from your phone or other Bluetooth device. Lighted dial. 16-3/4"W x 10-1/4"H x 7-1/2"D. $695.00. (1310184)
Crosley C-648-A (1939) (Bakelite tube table radio) This gorgeous set is one you'll rarely find in such mint condition. Its machine age cabinet with six horizontal fins on each side and gold-etched vertical dial is simply striking. The chocolate brown marbled Bakelite case still retains its showroom shine. The push buttons station pre-sets work as designed. Its dial with crystal clear dial cover shines beautifully in the dark. The set is completely original except for the back panel, power plug and external antenna. It has been fully restored with all electrolytics and weak tubes replaced so this five-tube Superheterodyne with external antenna now picks up all my local stations across the entire AM dial loud and clear. Ready to display and play! Another great radio from my personal smoke-free collection. About 11-1/2"W x 8-1/2"H x 6-1/2"D. $695.00. (1750138)

It is in beautiful cosmetic condition. Outside of a very few tiny paint pin pricks, the paint is near perfect. The metal trim pieces, usually tarnished and pitted, are also shiny and near perfect. The radio is playing fine and picking up all my local AM stations. It has its original back, steering wheel knobs in great condition and a complete label on the bottom. I really don't believe you could find one in better condition unless you bought it in 1953 and put it in a box and pulled it out 72 years later. It's an icon of 1950's radio design. About 12"W x 8"H x 8"D. $209.00. (1150928)

Croydon 549 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is a terrific performing and futuristic styled radio made by the Warwick Co. of Chicago. This styled radio offers both AM and shortwave reception from a five-tube, super-het chassis. This type of circuit is well regarded for superior performance and reliable service. The radio sports an over sized dial with detailed markings around the various bands. The cabinet appears to be original and in very nice factory condition.

Davison Haynes Aero (Wood tube cathedral radio) The only identification is Aero on the escutcheon and the number 15997 on the label. This is an extremely rare radio and is the only example I'm aware of. There is little documentation about the company and it appears they were only in business from 1930 to 31. The chassis was assembled at Gilfillan Bros. Plant in L.A. The chassis is the same used in their model 92 and 93 consoles. The radio is in beautiful condition inside and out. The chassis is super clean with no corrosion. The set was serviced by the former owner and plays fine with strong reception. The cabinet has been refinished. The grille cloth is a replacement, but I believe the knobs are original to the set. There is no schematic for this set and so it is offered primarily for display and preservation. 16-1/2"H x 15"W x 9-1/2"D. $749.00. (0260733)

The six-tube, three-band chassis has been restored by replacing all wax and electrolytic capacitors, checking all tubes and resistors, alignment was peaked and the eye tube is new. The cabinet has been refinished using period correct lacquer toners and a semi-gloss finish. Plays with nice sensitivity but does need a long wire antenna for reception. 18"W x 11"H x 10"D. $350.00. (1550199)
Delco R-1229 (1947) (Wood tube table radio) Although a little out of my usual radio lane, this little Delco R-1229 caught my eye on eBay and I may have spent a little too much for it. Someone loved this little radio and took very good care of it. The cabinet is very eye catching, with what I believe are rosewood, maple and walnut components. The finish was very nice on it, so I just gave it a touchup and a little furniture polish. It retains a few mars and scratches from its many years of service but I think it is very presentable. The back cover is pretty badly stained, but the graphics are still readable. My usual thorough chassis restoration, with all high testing tubes for long service life. Receives fairly well on the internal antenna but has a clip on back for more distant stations. Several have sold on the attic topping out at $225 in 2020. This is a swell little radio that really grabs your attention and will get noticed in any collection. I hope you will notice it as well and give it a good home! $199.00. (1680152)

Detrola 146 (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) My latest offering from the Motor City is this attractive, fairly large Detrola 146 table radio. It came to me with a previous restoration over several deep "witness marks" on the top. I was afraid to sand through the veneer, so I cleaned it up and put 15 coats of lacquer over it. A poor attempt at veneer replacement on the lower trim forced me to replace that with American Walnut. The resulting finish is slick, shiny, and gorgeous. A full set of high testing tubes, all new capacitors and resistors as necessary. I stuffed the original filter caps. The speaker was replaced by a previous servicer. It has a couple of small patches. The sound is outstanding! Requires an external antenna. It must be a good one. My Sweetheart tried to get me to let her keep it! 18"W x 11"H x 9"D. $359.00. (1680080)

Emerson 400 "Patriot" (Catalin tube table radio) The Emerson model 400 Patriot was introduced in the fall of 1940 and according to the Emerson book "Small Radio," this novelty set was styled by the well-known industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes. With war clouds thick over Europe and appearing increasingly threatening to the homelands, this radio's theme struck a chord with American radio buyers, who turned it into a best seller. Commenting on this unexpected success, Emerson stated "style, timing and current affairs of people should always be considered by radio engineers." While this radio is in great shape, there are a couple of things to point out; the plastic cover over the dial has yellowed and the back plate with antenna has pushed through the mounting bracket. Also, with regards to the red and white bars that cover the speaker, it looks to me like the "white" lines may be some sort of white tape. I'm not sure if this is original material, but it's worth mentioning. It's never bothered me aesthetically, but the reality should be stated. This radio powers up and receives signals including the "250-500" band which is below the AM band at the bottom of the dial. This is the 120-meter Medium-Wave (MW) broadcast band. Most stations heard in this range are aeronautical and marine navigation beacons that continuously repeat their call signs in Morse code. The old international distress frequency of 500 kHz is in this band, but it is no longer officially used. $1,500.00. (1880005)
Emerson 414 Repwood "Fleur-de-Lis" (1933) (Wood tube table radio) Ornate repwood model also called the "Wheat" radio. Everything is original including the back with the Emerson metal plate. It is in very good condition. This has the same chassis as the Mickey Model 411. The radio hums when plugged in so it needs repair but it displays beautifully. $350.00. (0710069)
Emerson 414 "Wheat" (1933) (Wood tube table radio) Also known as "Fleur-de-Lis," the model 414 dates from 1933. The chassis was also used in the Mickey Mouse and Snow White sets produced by Emerson. These sets are a rare find in excellent all original condition down to the power cord. This example uses a pin drive high impedance speaker rather than the field coil type as both have shown up with this chassis. Unfortunately I could not adjust this speaker to handle higher volume. Otherwise the chassis has been restored and is receiving several stations that you can listen to at low volume. It is ready for display. 7-1/2"W x 7-1/2"H x 5"D. $595.00. (0260785)
Emerson 426 Portable (1941) (Bakelite tube portable radio) The lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer are history for 2016 at least for this part of the country, but not for portable radio lovers!

There is an external antenna connection for greater station sensitivity. A Jim Dennis Scale of Beauty "AC/DC Special!"

Emerson 511 "Moderne" (1947) (Beetle tube table radio) Here is a seldom seen Emerson model 511 "Moderne" glossy ivory Beetle Plaskon with bronze/gold marbling swirls. The clear plastic bubble dial cover floats over the gold painted metallic grille, which covers much of the front. A block of ivory Plaskon, whose back has a recess for the pilot light, anchors the dial cover to the cabinet at its top. When you turn on the radio, the illuminated block sheds a soft light over the dial, a beautiful effect. Radio has a cleverly designed molded handle on the top that also served to ventilate the set, as this set is closed on all sides and is designed to be viewed from all angles. The beautiful marbleized Beetle Plaskon cabinet is in great original condition, with no chips, major cracks, burns or repairs. The cabinet has only a slight stress crack in the dark swirls between the two original Plaskon knobs (have to look hard to find). The set retains its original metal bottom. Elevated padded feet + two factory labels. It not only looks great, but plays loud and clear across the AM dial as well. Truly an eye-catching addition to any radio collection.

Emerson 520 (Catalin tube table radio) The Emerson Model 520 in Butterscotch Honey Gold. Of all my radios that turn on and receive AM stations, this one sounds amazing. The tone is rich and full, and makes AM sound big. I'm quite impressed with this one. This tabletop vacuum tube AM vacuum tube radio manufactured by Emerson in 1946 is in excellent working and physical condition. Cabinet is original factory molded butterscotch and gold swirl Catalin cabinet. No cracks, chips or major scratches or missing pieces. The dial light works and lights up brightly. In looking at other 520s online, I notice only one difference, the knobs on this radio are different than the knobs in other examples. I bought it this way, not sure if maybe the previous owner just liked these knobs better. As I mentioned it is in great working order and sounds incredible. $525.00. (1880008)
Emerson 540A "Emersonette" (1947) (Bakelite tube table radio) Here is a highly collectible 1947 "Emersonette" in a walnut Bakelite case.

This set's cabinet is in near mint condition, with just a 1/16-inch chip at the bottom edge beneath the volume knob - not readily seen on display. The grille cloth, black bullet-style knobs, external antenna, dial, dial glass and almost-perfect back panel are original to the set. The dial lights up beautifully in the dark. The power cord is a new replacement. The set has been re-capped, all weak tubes replaced, and the tuner and volume controls cleaned, so it picks up all my local stations loud and clear across the AM dial. Originally coined as "the world's smallest AC/DC Superheterodyne" ever made. Ready to display and play! Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. About 6-1/2"W x 4-3/4"H x 3-1/4"D. $595.00. (1750114)

This radio would look good at your home or office! 9"W x 5-3/4"H x 5-1/2"D. $200.00. (1700074)

Emerson 695 (1952) (Plastic tube clock radio) There seems to be a trend toward small, economical table radios lately. In that vein, I popped for this cute Emerson 695 from 1952. There's nothing fancy about this little guy, but I think the style has a clean, attractive look to it. The sound isn't bad from the perfect 4-inch speaker. My usual thorough chassis restoration and full alignment produced a good receiver for local stations, with an antenna wire for more distance. There are three small dings on the top front edge of the otherwise very nice cabinet. I had to make three of the knobs. The clock and alarm work fine. All in all, a nice little radio that won't take up much space and won't break the bank. These topped out on the Attic at $180 in 2019. I realize it has a few shortcomings and am pricing it accordingly. 9-1/2"W x 5-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D. $119.00. (1680153)
Emerson 706 (1952) (Plaskon tube table radio) This fully operational 1952 Plaskon model can almost be considered the older brother to the 1955 Emerson wooden model that can be viewed elsewhere on our Radio Attic page.

This radio has a Plaskon case and plastic face. It is a five-tube (AA5) superhet and picks up stations well. The chassis is rebuilt as per my shop info section. The dials on the sides of the top are the on/off/volume and the tuning. The cabinet was cleaned, buffed, and polished. Nice dial with a "power on" indicator lamp. Tough radio to find in such good condition. Usually the "feet" are damaged or broken off and the original face/feet were no exception. The current one is fully intact and has a 3D printed face. I will, of course, include the original face with the sale. It has some broken areas near the feet and an attempt to paint it prior to my getting it fell on a less than desirable outcome. The tuning dials are repaints and the face is very close to the original color dark green. As with all my radios, I will always entertain serious offers.

Emerson 845 Series B Mother of Pearl (Other material tube clock radio) Custom shop Mother of Pearl tube radio. This radio was made in a custom shop.

The radio plays great and the clock work properly and keeps time well. There is an accent stripe of Abalone running across the side, top and front. Also the end volume knob is covered in Abalone.

Emerson 977 Falcon (Plastic transistor portable radio) Radio just picks up static. The cabinet is really nice but not quite perfect - on inner tab in one corner is a little missing plastic where you can't see it with cover on so it presents really well with most of the paint still on front. This is a rare set and when you fix it (new caps most likely) you'll love it, even the back cover lettering is all there. $70.00. (2430322)

Emerson AM-187 "Pagoda" (1937) (Wood tube table radio w/SW) Here is one of the most unusual and seldom seen repwood sets made. These sets were antiqued by hand from the factory; Silver leaf was used as well as traces of red and shadowing. These sets were expensive, as this is the best performing repwood set I've ever owned. Most repwood sets were cheap radios that did not perform well. There isn't much info out there on these as there weren't many made, and very seldom does one come up for sale. The information was given to me by an avid Emerson collector, and a collector that collects nothing but repwood sets. This set still retains its original wood back, with its model number stamped in it. The chassis is clean and rust free and the speaker is flawless. The chassis was electronically restored, cleaning all pots and switches, changing of all filter and paper caps, new cloth line cord, etc. This set has a lot of volume and picks up a lot of stations across the dial. The set has both BC and SW bands. This is a very unique set and I've had it for ten years; the last one I've seen for sale was this one. 14-1/2"W x 9"H x 7"D. $595.00. (0620206)

Emerson BJ-210 (1938) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) Here's another classic Emerson with a stylish Ingraham cabinet. The black and red vinyl inlay around the bottom certainly gives this radio some character, perhaps a simple identity from several Emerson models that are very similar in size. The BJ-210 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,Police) AC/DC radio. The BJ is a chassis designation telling us that it was manufactured by Belmont. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. We added a new power cord, safety fuse and antenna lead. (We do not install audio input cables on AC/DC radios due to electrical shock hazard) This radio performs well across the dial with plenty of volume. Gary did a great job stripping the old finish and applied a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, chassis and speaker are present. This is a restored Emerson that plays well and is priced right. This radio should perform well for a long time! 14"W x 9-1/2"H x 8-1/4"D.Was $399.00, now $349.00. (1600490)
Emerson CL-256 "Stradivarius" (1939) ON SALE! (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) Perhaps one of the most beautiful and identifiable Ingraham cabinets is the violin-shaped "Stradivarius" manufactured in 1939 for Emerson. The Emerson "Strads" came in three models: the Walnut version with a square dial that is slightly larger that the Walnut version with the "D" shape dial. This is the third offering by Emerson, the "D" shaped dial with a cabinet made with Quilted Maple veneers. These cabinets were made for Emerson by the famous E. Ingraham Clock Manufacturing Company of Bristow, Connecticut. The "Strad" is a five-tube, AM only, AC/DC radio. It's all about the cabinet folks, but this radio performs very well too. All of the capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse and antenna lead were added. I can't say enough about the Gary Marvin refinish on this radio! If you're fortunate enough to own a radio refinished by this master, consider yourself lucky! This is one of the best examples of this radio you will ever find. The original knobs, speaker and chassis are with the set. The dial cover is crystal-clear. All the boxes are checked with this radio. You don't see the Quilted Maple version very often, and in this condition...never! 11"W x 6"H x 5-1/2"D.Was $1,495.00, now $1,395.00. (1600579)
Emerson CV316 (1939) (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) Emerson Extraordinary! This is a very nice/rare Emerson CV316 in the coveted artsy Ingraham cabinet. What a cool design as is most Ingraham cabinets, but this one is beyond description the way it appears is that the radio is two (flat one pushed into to the oval cabinet)... really special & different from any other radio I've ever seen. The oval top nestles on the fluted flat face giving it a space age look. Hope my pics do it justice with all the angles. I don't think this has been offered on the Attic previously. Actually I cannot find much info on this particular set. It's a five-tube AM band table radio from my smoke free home/collection. It is a very strong player picking up all across the dial. Since it is from my collection, I know it was restored prior to being added to my shelves, else it would not be there…point is it is an older restore as it has been there for at least five or six years. Nice original condition, including original finish & inlays, Emerson bullet knobs, lighted dial, dial cover, factory embossed back, speaker, etc + the Ingraham factory tag on bottom of case + a stencil of the company in Philly that sold the radio...cool. I did add a new Emerson decal between knobs as is correct. Extremely clean rust free chassis. This one will not disappoint. Quite the center piece & attention getter. 11"W x 6-1/2"H x 6"D. $575.00. (1640337)
Emerson DR1-343 (Wood tube table radio w/SW/Ingraham cabinet) Nice Emerson DR1-343 radio in a very attractive Ingraham cabinet. The Ingraham label is still on the bottom. It is a fine performing set and picks up lots of AM stations just with its built-in loop antenna. Connect an external longwise antenna to the wire with the alligator clip and you get really impressive reception! All tubes have been tested good and bad capacitors and resistors replaced. I have added a cable with an audio plug so you can plug it into a smartphone and play music through the radio (just tune to a quiet portion of the band first). It has the original finish which was is very good condition and was topcoated to restore luster. There is a little darkening around the volume knob. A fine and desirable set at a very fair price! $445.00. (1160073)

Emerson DS-436 (1940-1941) (Wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet) When I was a kid, Cadillac was the king of cars. If a radio was going to be a Cadillac, it would be this awesome Emerson DS346. This thing has features galore. Linear scale indicators for volume and tone. A bright new tuning eye. Huge, perfect, "shock mounted" 8-inch speaker that sounds just incredible, driven by the perfectly matched 6L6 push-pull outputs. A very well designed chassis that has a unique mounting, where it is suspended on rubber washers instead of sitting on the base like most are. The Ingraham cabinet is very stylish and ornate. A couple of "witness marks" too deep to sand, so I filled them before covering the cabinet with 18 coats of lacquer for a nice, slick finish. A not too bad stain on the top. The chassis was restored when I got it, and the workmanship looks good. Receives well on the internal antenna with a wire for external. These are rare. Only two have sold, both last year. If you missed out on those, here's your chance to own one very impressive radio. 18"W x 12-1/2"H x 12"D. $649.00. (1680122)

ERLA 271-A (1931) ON SALE! (Wood tube cathedral radio) This rather rare radio dating from the very early thirties is an impressive ERLA (Electrical Research Laboratories, Chicago) cathedral radio with a "flat top" and a Hammond clock in the center of the speaker grille. This is a special & unusual set with its "flat top" has a rather unique look for a cathedral. I believe the grille cloth to be original as are the knobs, speaker, dial etc. The case has been nicely refinished and restored by previous owner, & plays with great sound and selectivity with a supplied short antenna. Nice clean chassis & is a seven-tuber driven by a single 45 output! The electric clock also runs, but like all clocks of the era, is not self starting. It is easy to spin the clock into work, with the spinner in the back of the set. It is held in place by retaining clips and can be easily snapped into & out of cabinet. It is a quality one made by Hammond Clock, well known for a recognizable name and quality. This is a large set & the size alone, makes for the impressive appearance, but will require proper packaging & materials. I pack very well using over-sized box & all new materials. The weight is an impressive 42 pounds. The exceptional set would be a fine addition to any collection. 19"H x 14"W x 11"D.Was $529.00, now $450.00. (1640286)

FADA 43 (1930) (Wood tube cathedral radio) You are looking at a very early and extremely scarce early cathedral radio. The five-tube chassis plays on Broadcast only on an earlier type of circuit call a "TRF." I had my cabinet pro do the refinish and he discovered the inky super dark finish was covering Rosewood. At that point, I gave him artistic license to highlight the stunning wood. He choose a super high gloss lacquer hand rub finish to accentuate the gorgeous wood. Please excuse the photos as with the finish being so glossy, there is a bit of reflection and bounce from the flash. There is a bit of uneven areas due to the usual shrinkage of the wood, which is now 88 years old. Les has completed his professional level repairs and the radio plays very well for the more primitive type of circuit. He also added the mini-jack connector allowing you addition of an input device. AM transmitter and Bluetooth options are available starting at $25! Click here for details! This is a rare and beautiful radio and highly collectible! 18"H x 15-7/8"W x 10-1/2"D. $1,499.00. (0961467)

Four original front knobs for off/on combined with tone, volume, tuning and band (factory gold labeled). Has front switchable phono input on rear. Repro grille cloth.
